The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries. Those hormones regulate menstruation, fertility and sex drive (libido) – any one of which can be adversely affected if the production of these hormones goes out of balance. As most women approach mid-life, hormonal changes gradually cause reproductive organs to shut down eventually leading to menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1005: Hormones are tremendously complex and during the pre-menopausal years, imbalanced hormones can pose challenges with mood stabilisation, conception and regulation of your menstrual cycle. The Female Hormone Profile provides valuable information on an individual’s hormonal status and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHormone-related symptoms can occur from the age of when a menstrual cycle commences. Generally, hormonal issues is usually not a clear-cut case of one hormone level being abnormal, or even one hormone system. In fact, because of the role that hormones play as chemical messengers to wake up the genome in specific target tissues throughout the body, it makes sense that all hormone systems work in concert with each other to maintain a state of balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalivary hormone measurements provide an effective analyses of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone in determining the need for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Hormone levels may be normal, indicating that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1001: Each person has two adrenal glands both located on top of each of the body’s two kidneys. These glands are important to the body’s endocrine (hormonal) system. Adrenal fatigue is a very common condition in today’s society through the physical and physiological demands we put on our adrenal glands. Each gland is composed of two distinct zones, the large outer cortex and the inner medulla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalivary cortisol testing is an effective, non-invasive salivary hormone test that evaluates bioactive levels of the body’s important stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA. This hormone test (stress test) serves as a critical tool for uncovering biochemical imbalances underlying anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, dysglycemia, and a host of other clinical conditions that may affect our day to day lives. This hormone test examines 4 saliva samples over a 12-hour period for levels of cortisol and DHEA. The Adrenocortex test should be used as a general screening test as it plays such an important role for a healthy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hormone Health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saliva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e LC-MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 Business Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e*Fasting Required*-6-8am collection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCortisol Afternoon\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCortisol Midday\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCortisol morning\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCortisol Night\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDHEAs\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEstradiol (E2)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEstriol (E3)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEstrone (E1)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eProgesterone\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRatios\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTestosterone\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon clinical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Energy-and-Fatigue.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnergy and Fatigue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAthletic Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cardiovascular-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCardiovascular Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCardiovascular Disease\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Other-Health-Conditions.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther Health Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMalnutrition\/Malabsorption\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metabolic-Endocrine-and-Hormonal-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEndocrine and Hormonal Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInsulin Resistance\/ Type 2 Diabetes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nutritional-and-Dietary-Symptoms.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNutritional and Dietary Symptoms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMalnutrition\/ malabsorption\/ maldigestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObesity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1010-ADRENOCORTEX-STESS-FEMALE-BASIC-.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1010-Adrenal-Stress-Female-Basic.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
